Is there anyone on NL that does not know your pathetic life is ruined by bigitry.

Look at this idiot talking about coup ? A coup in planning is a coup according to your foolish ipob head. A coup without a day or date it was carried out. The level of foolishness you miserable lot go to prove your foolishness is indeed legendary.


obyno82:
Dude stop talking like a shallow person. A coup was planned is different from a coup that was carried out. The allegation in Oputa was that did they plan a coup or not? Adisa confirmed that they planned a coup. In most cases coups are thwarted in planning stages. Mind how you call people you don't know bigots because you are also one of the bigots that live pathetic lives on NL

You are wasting your time explaining what is fact to a hopeless bigot that chose ro ruin his pathetuc life on NL. Imagine Diya orchestrated a coup n no single soul was shot or killed.
I perfectly understand you.

As a veteran user of NL for exactly 20 years now since 2005, I know the incidious monikers who relentlessly push false or misleading narratives and propaganda. I'm NOT wasting my time correcting him. I largely did that so that the younger folks here and other folks online would NOT be misled by organized disinformation.

Your insight is appreciated.

Lagos must be seen by the Igbo as a compensation for not having Biafra,we must maximize our domination of Lagos.We must redouble our property acquisition of prime areas including eko Atlantic city and also our population to make it possible to control the politics of Lagos in the near future.
Going forward,we should float a consortium to acquire the papa seaports for better management as we did with the trade fair complex.
The alternative otherwise should be an independent State of Biafra

You are right. One of the reasons Egypt is building a new capital from ground up is to prevent what happened that led to regime change. A way to protect future governments.

Nigeria did something similar when we moved the capital city from Lagos to Abuja. It was a way to shield governments from coups and the likes.

It kind of worked though as Nigeria has only experienced one coup since moving the capital to Abuja
Then you are not counting the CIA one of 1998 which included Egyptian girls, apples, spiked tea and what have you.

Your hatred for Islam is legendary.... The general mindset of Nigerian leaders be it Muslim or Christian is how to amass wealth. So why are you blaming one segment from the entire circle? The beautiful thing about democracy is that it's a game of numbers and God so kind Muslims has it, they will continue to lead you or determines who will lead you. Kiss the truth
No, you need to kiss the truth.

If we microscope the religious aspects, you will find out that the 2 Christian leaders, actually did better than all the caliphates combined. Mind you, to real progressive people, the 2 Christian leaders were mediocre in their performance.


And I don't hate islamics, I hate terrorists and their terrorism.

India has daily power cuts. But you don’t see Indians acting like buffoons like you online, broadcasting to the world that “ordinary electricity we don’t have!”.

Indians flee their country for greener pastures 100 times more than Nigerians.

Anywhere you go abroad and see 1 Nigerian, there at least 50 Indians.

So tell us the Indian slang for emigration.

They and the rest of the world know yours.

[quote author=Konquest post=134839705]Indeed, Eko Atlantic evolved through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project between Lagos State under the former Governor Bola Tinubu and the Lebanese-Nigerian Chagoury Group from what was originally solid land in Iruland (the original Yoruba name of Victoria Island) area bordering the former Bar Beach that had been washed away by the raging Atlantic Ocean from the 1990s to the 2000s. If that hadn't been done, the entire Victoria Island that relentlessly got flooded by the horrendous waves of the Atlantic Ocean would have been washed off of precious land right into the Atlantic Ocean (like what is currently going on in Araromi and environs in Ondo State and Bayelsa States) and threatened nearby Ikoyi Island, Lagos Island, and Lekki Peninsula.

Eko Atlantic City simply restored the ORIGINAL solid land boundary that existed back in the 1950s to 1980s, by using very advanced dredging devices to get washed away sand from the sea floor right back up to reclaim the land. So, it's NOT that sand was brought from another location to build the land used for Eko Atlantic City.

With the United States new diplomatic mission, First Bank Holdings, Television Continental Headquarters, hotels and more high profile organisations building structures and moving over to the well-planned Eko Atlantic City, the place is gradually taking shape, BUT it will take some more time to gain critical mass. A lot still has to be done to upgrade the city which has a sea wall to prevent any future ocean rise and more.

The same land reclaiming process is going on in Banana Island too.
Been to Eko Atlantic on several occasions; it's amazing. Tinubu is a genius.

@gmo10

Indeed, the foresight of former Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State and his team in partnering with Chagoury Group to rescue Victoria Island from the horrendous waves of the Atlantic Ocean which would have buried the entire Island right now and threatened Ikoyi Island, Lagos Island, Lekki Peninsula, etc,(due to rising ocean waters caused by climate change which has melted some of the largest icebergs in the North Pole and South Pole) was pure genius. NO right thinking person can fault him on that majestic project which raised the already eroded land from the former Bar Beach area back to glory to form Eko Atlantic City like the mythical Egyptian Phoenix.

Referencing the Banana Island reclamation you talked about, I've been aware that a significant part of those reclamations are illegal and since about 2020 right till 2025 warning shots have been fired by the Lagos State government to those illegally extending the original Banana Island master plan and shoreline. The irresponsible attitude of some folks to NOT wanting to do things legally needs to be studied as a special case study in human obstinence. You CAN'T do these sorts of land violations in Singapore and China otherwise you'll face the full weight of the law and it's time for Lagos State to make scapegoats out of those doing this. There's an ecological reason why existing landmasses are NOT extended through land reclamation in some places to protect the existing natural flow of water from being obstructed while natural water flows from the lagoons right into the oceans.

Coup definition: a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.
Example - "he was overthrown in an army coup"
what about "he was sentenced to death for attempting a coup"

sevenhundred:

Emphasis on "attempting a coup". Again, a coup is only a coup if it is deemed successful. Any connotation other than Success can't be said to be a coup.

The OP is responding to an earlier thread that sought to paint the Egypt city as “better than Nigeria” as is usual with your wretched inferiority complex.

Stupid dullards. Isn’t this why thousands of you are SLAVES in Libya today, begging the Nigerian govt to evacuate you?

Stupid moro.ns with inferiority complex including university educated bankers, working as slaves in Libyan fields today, and getting fcked in the asss by Libyan guards because they stupidly ignored the fact it was a wartorn country with no government or president, and traveled there anyway, because in your stupid, thick, moronic heads, “everywhere is better than Nigeria”, especially if the people there are light- skinned.

Stupid, mentally colonised dullards with no sense.

2 weeks ago I started a thread saying we need a brand new world class stadium in Lagos.

I was met with a HAIL OF ABUSE AND INSULTS. People asking where the money should come from since people are struggling etc etc.

4 days later Super Eagles played Rwanda in the fantastic, world class Kigali stadium, and those same people that were abusing were insulting Nigeria for not having a beautiful stadium like Kigali.

Saying stuff like “so-called Giant of Africa can’t even boast of this…..”

They are cursed.

Ignore them.
exactly.

Crazy part, they will call it elephant project and avenue to loot.

Then when they see the same in other countries, they ask why we cant have that.

I have never seen these type of people in my life.
